Why did people mobilize for the Arab Spring? While existing
research has focused on the roles of authoritarian regimes,
oppositional structures, and social grievances in the movement,
these explanations fail to address differences in the behavior of
individuals, overlooking the fact that even when millions mobilized
for the Arab Spring, the majority of the population stayed at home.
To investigate this puzzle, this book traces the reasoning
processes by which individuals decided to join the uprisings, or to
refrain from doing so. Drawing from original ethnographic
interviews with protestors and non-protestors in Egypt and Morocco,
Dornschneider utilizes qualitative methods and computational
modeling to identify the main components of reasoning processes:
beliefs, inferences (directed connections between beliefs), and
decisions. Bridging the psychology literature on reasoning and the
political science literature on protest, this book systematically
traces how decisions about participating in the Arab Spring were
made. It shows that decisions to join the uprisings were "hot,"
meaning they were based on positive emotions, while decisions to
stay at home were "cool," meaning they were based on safety
considerations. Hot Contention, Cool Abstention adds to the
extensive literature on political uprisings, offering insights on
how and why movements start, stall, and evolve.
